So far, I realized that I was thinking about the corsets of the 18th century leydiler because the corsets were strict, but now I saw the reason better, the reasons for fainting were due to the foolishness of the 18th century men.
In "Dragonfly in Amber," the author Diana Gabaldon reflects on the strict nature of 18th-century corsets, initially perceiving them as merely restrictive garments. However, her understanding evolves as she delves deeper into the societal context of the time. She realizes that the fainting often associated with these corsets stemmed not just from their constraining design, but also from the oppressive attitudes and expectations imposed by men of that era.
This insight highlights how societal norms and gender roles contributed to health issues among women, portraying the corset as a symbol of broader injustices. Gabaldon's examination reveals that the issue was more complex than mere fashion; it reflects the foolishness of male dominance in shaping women's experiences and wellbeing.
